Whakarongo mai!

Provenance III is a new group exhibition on at Ivan Anthony, the third of its exhibition series. Provenance brings together a collection of artists, emerging, established as well as European Antiquities. Pulling them together in space to create this rich cosmos of dialogue. A unique encounter between works that speak to this lineage of storytelling. 

Maya had a kōrero with two of the artists showing work within Provenance III  Sophie Grieg and Erika Holm. Speaking to them on their respective practices and works within the show. 

Sophie Grieg produces mesmerizing paintings that draw from the medieval, renaissance, illuminated manuscripts, as well as personal family narratives. Creating works enriched with intricate webs of fairy-tale-like fables, encased in these architectural framing devices. Housing these women of Greig’s practice, as well as their stories and lessons that they pass on. 

Erika Holm creates beautiful sculptures that are informed by items of furniture and house hold objects that demand this connection of body, and to an act of ritual. Holm takes these ritualistic objects and embeds their core structure with forms of the body. Re-attaching the body to these points of human connection that are held within the daily rituals of objects.

The Future is an exhibition presenting new and recent work by Berlin-based artist Simon Denny, currently on at Michael Lett Gallery. 

In channelling the spirit of aeropainting and Italian Futurism, Denny employs contemporary methods of making with today’s technology to create two new series of paintings whereby both mechanical and painterly qualities transpire, aiding in a recontextualisation of 20th-century modernism. 

Sofia had a kōrero with Simon Denny about the show and his overall practice.
